the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

Politician does paperwork wrong. Calls it censorship. This guy is such a dork.

Dan is one of the best to ever do it. Been reading his stuff for my whole life. He is one of those guys who always found the quirky slices of life stories. He is also one of those happy warriors, a guy with a big smile who can also break serious news. Respect.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need more of this. www.ms.now/news/minneap...

Again?

ICE Agents when they go for coffee at Chick-fil-A after murdering innocent people in an illegal crackdown:

A few years from now when ICE agents at their murder trials:

So when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact. When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

Our acting CDC director seems comfortable downplaying pediatric respiratory disease by calling it “similar to last year.” Last year wasn’t safe. Children died at record numbers. Public health policy should be built around prevention, not normalization of preventable harm.

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.

Bluesky needs more Canada

My wife has American citizenship. One time when we crossed the border, guard was looking at our passports, he got a shitty look on his face and said, "You married *this* guy?" It wasn't a comedic tone. He was being an asshole. Border guards used to be friendly. Now they are paranoid dicks.

Danielle Smith's willingness to cater to Alberta separatists was always a dangerous game. Now, in the wake of America's attack on Venezuela and its covetous advances on Greenland, she's effectively risking Canada's future in order to save her own. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/01/08/o...

Republicans doubling down, threatening to kill more Americans

Striking reporting on Canadian defence planning. 'The Dep't of National Defence began discussing the creation of a civil-defence capability around the time Mr Trump suggested he would use “economic force” to persuade Canadians to join the United States' www.economist.com/the-americas...

Sea anemones and jellyfish don’t have brains, but the way their neurons behave during sleep shows some surprising similarities to humans

Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

you know it's bad for ICE when The Washington Post isn't defending them.

Gamblification of the news is poison

Minneapolis public schools canceled classes officials after Roosevelt High School said armed Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

All my friends and family who served in Afghanistan came back damaged and changed. It was a horrible thing.

ICE killed more than 30 people last year. It's only going to accelerate.

Rebel News is trash for idiots with shit for brains.

ICE has shot people way more than 9 times. The video from Minneapolis shows multiple people being sprayed, shot at with pepper balls and other projectiles. The frog protest videos show multiple people, including journalists & bystanders. A lady walking home got shot at by cops. We saw the video.

And now, for a slice of Canada.

"A doctor at the scene attempted to help the woman who was shot, but was kept away by federal agents. When an ambulance finally arrived, it was blocked from reaching her by law-enforcement vehicles, and paramedics had to reach her on foot. The woman has died." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

they're calling this self defense??

ICE Vows To Restore Order Using Whatever Force Unnecessary

This is the video.

Nothing believable comes out of this regime. Ever. “She was trying to turn around, the ICE agent was in front of her car, & he pulled out a gun & put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — & he reached across the hood of the car & shot her in the face like 3, 4 times,” the witness said.

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

Land of the free?

"You gonna murder someone else? You can't kill us all, Nazis."

Alberta education minister is punching down on trans students and overseeing book bans. The recall may fail, but his tenure will also be considered a failure.

Alberta is banning books, but it won't say which ones. We know why. They won't say because they are ashamed. If the books were truly objectionable, they would be using them as cudgels against the "woke agenda brainwashing kids." This is about erasing vulnerable people and policing thought.

"Defunded by Congress and fearing the Trump administration might pervert the organization to further undermine free media, the board members agreed it was better to salt the earth than leave behind a place for Trump to plant his poisonous, choking weeds." — @lizdye.bsky.social

"sure i'm generating content & lending legitimacy to a platform owned by the world's richest man who is also a Nazi propagandist and has programmed the site AI to generate CSAM, but hey if i pay him eight bucks a month I can get a lot of engagement!" what a depressing world we live in

"The above was inspired by the Washington Post Editorial Board’s apology for Trump’s kidnapping of Maduro, to the point that I could lift entire paragraphs and just change a few words." www.halifaxexaminer.ca/morning-file...

New, from me: The Trump administration isn’t just using social media to shape a narrative. They view the world through a social media lens in a way that is plausibly corrupting their judgment and undermining their performance. Welcome to the clicktatorship. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/life-under...
